An Alternative Structure to Our Footy Season
Clearly you've put a lot of thought into this. But unless Tasmania's admission falls through this is as relevant as it is for a 12-team competition. Sorry.

PRESEASON TRAINING: Wednesday 19th November 2025
Yeah, while it could easily turn out that McAdam, as an over-30, ends up consigned to the VFL by year's end the current silly-season criticism is too much. The guy hails from rural WA, has played interstate for yonks, barely played in 23 and 24 and then finally with a great preseason under his belt he misses all of 25 after all that build-up with a big injury. He could have retired months ago, disgusted with his lot. The guy probably has the patience of Job. I wouldn't be surprised if there were coach discussions and they just about insisted he use every second of his break away from football! Hold if on the criticism at least until a few upcoming training sessions are done.

Sometimes the best thing to do is nothing. Christ, we sleep for hours each day. No matter how much people want to push clearly it isnt always the best strategy.

Wildcard Round
1st and 2nd-placed teams will win the flag more often. So will 5th and 6th. 3th and 4th will win less often and the teams in the wildcard round will rarely make the GF. The wildcard games will feel like a half-final - slightly better than an "eight-point game" in round 24. The excitement a team used to have in the final rounds when they knew they could no longer drop out of the top eight will now be "can't drop out of the SIX." Unless I'm overpraising byes and easy wins I reckon the above is very likely.

Umm, when have the majority of players been good with both feet? If I were dealing with young, teenage players I'd be getting them to develop their other foot. But nonetheless players can still be pretty good using just their main foot. I think youre off on a tangent.

What's to say some senior players are fully revved up for when they return? New coach, new staff, new players and their last or second-last chance to get a new contract.

I still can't get my head around why the kicking is so poor. It's so important that players that couldn't consistently kick well in junior games get drafted late or not at all .... at least I'd like to think so. Did we spend years taking players that can't kick or did our training sessions get so laughable post 2021 that players lost their kicking skills? It's baffling.

Inside Access - Day 1 Pre Season
I come to this topic and first thing I see is an ad saying "come to this site for screwing". I hope this isn't meant to be subliminal. 🙄 EDIT: "Local site for screwing" actually. Oh, dear.
